NIGHT, AND ON THE DAY FOLLOWING, BEING THE iGal. " The wind had been freshening for several days from the South-west.' On the 14. th and 15th it blew a gale, and hopes were begun to tie conceived that the French prisoners who were on board the hulks might carry into execution the project which they had al ready tried in vain, viz. to cut the cables, and allow themselves to drift on the coast. They were fa voured by several circumstances : a strong . wind from the south-west, which, )iowever, reached them only by gusts . ; a high sea; the distance of the English and Spanish squadrons, which had been obliged to keep closer to Cadiz., to be under slither from the fire of our batteries; the capture of Mata gorda; and, ,in fine, the protection which the priso ners might expect from the batteries on the coast, and particularly from that of Trocadero. " On the 15th, in the evening, Marshal Duke of Belluno had sent for Captain Grivel, of the Marines, in the Imperial Guards, who, in the first , gale, of the 6th March last, had givenn-prods ot,great intre-• pidity and zeal, in older to learn from him whether, with a good vessel and a picked crew, lie could not, during the'night,'cut the cables of the hulks em ployed in the road as,,prisons or hospitals, and which had French prisoners on board. Mr. Griffin was then on the coast for the service of the army, and did not return till night. _ _ _ . . " The.mannerin which the,kulks were anchored was not every where favourable for their getting to wards the coast, when the cables should be cut. Those which Were at anchor in the channel which separates the little Porn the great bay, were only 300 fathoms from our batteries, and were guarded by only a few gun-boats. Those at anchor to.the north of the channel were nearer - to the squa dron, and coveted - by some English arid Spanish ships: 33 to the latter, fears were entertained, that it they were, allowed to dri've, they might run on one of those ships, Or be sunk by their fire. The Castile hulk was in this case, and she is. notwith standing the one, which, on the 14th, at three o'clock in the morning had run aground a hundred fathoms from the shore to the north-west of the fort of Matagorda. " The officers on board this hulk had, h a spon taneous movement, come to a resolution to attempt their escape. The' coeduCt of this expedition was intrusied to the naval officers on board,, end they justified the confidence which was placed in them. Some preparations were made on the 17th,, in the attetnoon ; only, hoe ever, as tar as prudence allow ed, not to be discovered by the guards.' At eight O'clock ip the evening, the wind was still from the S. W. but it had considerably fallen ; it was, bow- ever, time to cut the cables, in order to take advan tage of the tide. Some hesitation took place re speding the conduct to be adopted, when, under the , order of some young Sub-Lieutenants, tw o cuiras— siers cut the cables with hatchets. Every one then lent a hand. The naval officers direaed the steer ing of the hulk. The officers' of the army over powered the guards, whom they put in th e h e ld, and kept guard on the deck with the muskets of the vanquished ; and with these arms, to g ether with balls and pieces of iron, whiCh th e y threw at the enemy's boats that were approaching, they succeed in keeping them, after having broken several of the assailants legs and arms. During this time, the vessel 'was still driving, sometimes in a contrary course, when the weather becaMe more calm ; but the sails, which had been skilfully prepared with hammocks and blankets, enabled het to stem the current, and she at last run aground. " When the hulk was descried to be aground by the troops at the Trocadero, they immediately prepared to give them assistance. The Mareltal got LONDOIV, MONDAY, JULY , .2, 1810. We this morning received the following letter from Dover. ..BUONAPAIITE has of late bedome so capricious, and his Decrees have been' .so numerous and so contradictory, that it is difficult to 'fOrm any conjecture respecting his motive for laying on the embargo : . c DOVER, Arf.Y I.—A vessel arrived to-day from DiePpe, the people of which report that an ex change of prisoners was every day spoken of, and that cartels were to be immediately established. "By this vessel we al - so learn, that orders had been issued, by the French Government to lay an embargo on vessels of every description throughout the coup , try„, which was to continue for six mouths." No official accounts have been receive:l since our last either from Spain or Portugal, hu! the privat e accounts that have teach !d us from the former ate very satisfaCtory. It is stated in a Letter from lien!' dated the 6th May, that a considerable body -01 Spaniards descended the Pyren'nees, made an irror Lien into France, and ; advaneed within 100 tniies of Bourdeaux. They carried off a large quantity oi booty, and returned in safely to tai: Mountains.

On account of the high-sea, no boat could sail from the Rio Guadalete or San- Pedro; but by fhe attention of the Chief of the Staff, and of Admiral Salcedb, several were brought on carts, at, full gallop, to the Trocadero, and sent off. The landing had already begun under the di reetion of Generals Laval, Rulsen, and Aboville. At eight o'clock in the morning, four hundred men from the hulk were already landed, and at noon the ves- Selwas cleared. • • • " The operation lasted seven hours ; •it was car-- ried on under a very heavy fire of artillery. it si;'as a very affecting sight, and it is difficult to describe the ardour shewn by all the general officers, subal tern officers, lightermerr; sailors,•cannoniers, and in fantrv, in saving.thne prisoners; some swimming, others up to the shoulders in water and mud, and some in boats in short, every one was eager to be of some assistance.
